Advent Calendar Giveaway Day 3

Thank you to everyone who posted an answer - I think Laney had it right about being snowed in is no real hardship when you have food, warmth - and a few books you want to read! I know this is perfect writing weather with so few distractions

Well, OK with a small ginger and white kitten distraction - and Charlie can be very distracting. He's thinking about writing the next instalment of his diary so watch out for that.

I've been getting some great covers lately. I'm still looking for my first new-style cover (for The Proud Wife out in March) but I've just discoivered this one for a 3-in-one collection coming in February - What do you think?

I haven't found out the title of my book in this collection but it's great to be in with a couple of my personal favourite authors so I'm looking foward to seeing this one and finding out just which novels are reprinted in it.

So today's giveaway is another 3 in 1 volume - this time it's Mistress Material where one of my books was included in a collection with titles by Lucy Monroe and Daphne Clair.

This edition is actually the Australian edition of this collection.

And the title of my book that's included in this volume is The Married Mistress which was originally published in 2003.

The Mistress’s secret...is hot news!Gorgeous Greek tycoon Damon Nicolaides is always in the news...so when the paparazzi get a tip-off about his new mistress, they come banging on her door.The truth is that Sarah and Damon were married a year ago but Sarah left him, believing their marriage was a lie. Now Damon’s back to claim his wife, but first he must protect her from the press by pretending that Sarah is merely his mistress...and to do that, he tells her, they’ll have to make their ‘affair’ real!

The Married Mistress is linked to Their Secret Baby which tells the story of Sarah's boss Rhys and his hunt for his baby daughter.

Oh- and this book has recently be rereleased in ebook format so if you like your books in ebook form you can find the details here.

So today's question is: If you were putting together a 3 in 1 volume of Mills&Boon Modern/Harlequin Presents stories - which three authors would you love to include?

Answers in the comments section please - and Sid will get on the job of picing winners on Saturday morning.

Hi Kate! Ohh this is tricky...so hard to narrow down to three! I'll take Nas Dean's route and say you, obviously, paired with any of the following: Anne McAllister, India Grey, Jane Porter, Natalie Anderson, Michelle Reid, Lynn Raye Harris, Kimberly Lang, Ally Blake, Kate Hewitt, and Trish Wylie. I'm sure there's others that I'm forgetting right now, but off the top of my head I'd be thrilled with a 3-in-one containing any of the above! You all have such different writing styles but I love all of your books!

I have only been keeping track of books I've read for the past year. (I have read at least 250 romances/year since 1974 and never kept track before.) Looking through my notes of Presents/M&B books, I noted that I loved an anthology already written by Carole Mortimer, Rebecca Winters, and Marion Lennox - called CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS. For your answer, however, you KNOW I would have to choose you (DUH) - as I have read more of your books this year than anyone else's and loved, loved, loved them - and probably Abby Green and Anne McAllister (who apparently is quite popular in this blog)!
